breed ban
Outlawed dog types
A breed ban is legislation prohibiting ownership of specific dog breeds deemed dangerous, typically pit bulls, Rottweilers, or similar breeds associated with attacks.
Supporters argue certain breeds pose inherent risks; opponents counter that behavior depends on training and individual temperament, not breed.
The city's breed ban forced owners to rehome their pit bulls.
Also called breed-specific legislation or BSL.
